after work I get go home once I got home I wanted to check and top off my oil something I do once to twice a week depending on how hard I drive it
anyways as soon as I got out of my car I could hear a high pitched ticking sound kinda like a valve train but much higher hmmmm it was not up and down loader or softer but just a steady ticking Hmmmmm give it some throttle but then the engines too load to hear it
it sounds like its coming from the bottom left of the engine bay I figured maybe my clutch is messed up but when I push in the clutch sound is still there same for putting it into gears and letting it grab some
but nothing else seems to check out all the belts/oil gear is on the driver side so I take it back out for a drive to see if it would get louder/worse or better
nothing changes
so I figured why not check the distribtor and see if the bearings going again for the 4th or is it 5th? time in 13 months
the way I go by checking that is to back off the 3 screws holding the cap on then I can move the cap away from the rotor a tad bit so I can see if the rotor is rubbing the cap
I use this becuase its the only thing I have that can fit the bottom screw since my charge pipes/blow off valve are in the way
I've done it this way for MANY MANY MANY times before with no problems
so I get the top two off then go to remove the bottom one next thing I know I was knocked back "or maybe jumped" I really don't know I droped the screw driver and just checked the normal things arms tingle legs tingle heart beating twice as fast as normal hmmm ok seems good... Im soooo very glad I was not using a wrench or socket because I would have not droped it like I did and would have been shocked for much longer
ok well somethings not right so I turn the car off shake my arms some more "even now 2-3 hours later my left hand still feels weird" I start by checking under the cap and for some reason a screw is hanging out the bottom.... um?
ok I pull the cap off and as soon as I get cap off I can see things are not right
turns out the bolt holding my rotor on backed itsself out then from there.... pics are better then words
"as you can see the bolt broke the post off and was working in place of it"
so what happened was when I went to remove the bottom bolt I touched the screwdriver to the bolt hanging out of the bottom and that was running off my MSD 6A system in other words if its true what MSD says I felt 50000volts or atlest half of that if the other half went to the Sparkplug
I've been shocked by MANY things from my dirt bikes tons of small engines to little dumb things like light switches "damn older brothers!" and even once before by my Datsun back in the day
but nothing comes close to this one ouch
ohwell shit happens

You can blow out a $75 igniter fast as fawk if you touch the wrong thing with the ignition turned on.
